This volume of Teachers’ voices and its accompanying DVD form a professional development package focusing on explicitly supporting reading and writing in the adult ESL classroom. It includes illustrative excerpts from the teachers’ classrooms that relate to the classroom events they describe.

Explicitly supporting reading and writing in the classroom also provides a number of focus activities that can be used by readers to experiment with the theoretical ideas and classroom tasks presented. Readers are provided with suggestions for conducting small-scale action research projects that allow for application of the ideas in their own classrooms.
